Thanks Sebastian. Is there any source code example that shows how to do it? Also, how can we make sure this dialog box only pops up when the end user doing manual uninstallation? When the end user doing major upgrade to a newer version, this dialog box shouldn't popup because the end user will keep using the new version of the software - therefore the settings are still needed anyways. Is it possible to ensure this point? Thanks again.

To show a dialog, you'll have to create a custom action to show a dialog, then schedule that during uninstall.

How to add a dialog box when uninstall? We'd like to ask the end user if they want to delete their settings files in AppData\Company\Product folder. If the answer is Yes, then we'll need to delete that folder. And we only want this dialog box showing up when manually uninstall by either click the uninstall shortcut or from ARP in control panel. We do NOT want this dialog showing up when the user doing a major upgrade(installing a higher version, the old version is uninstalled). Thanks. /Brian __________________________________________________________________ Be smarter than spam. See how smart SpamGuard is at giving junk email the boot with the All-new Yahoo! Mail.
